Chapter 18 The Most Creative Way to Propose
Sleeping until he woke up naturally, after washing, and having breakfast, Wei Ran came to the five-star hotel in good spirits, this time he didn't have to wait for Ling Lin to open the store, Ling Lin gave him a spare key.
It hasn't been open for two days, and the stock of ingredients has bottomed out, so Wei Ran made a list and prepared to go to the vegetable market to buy ingredients.
Sprinkled with two large pages, it is filled with the names of the ingredients to be purchased, the quantity and the reference purchase price.
Driving an electric tricycle, Wei Ran is still a little uncomfortable, this seems to be the first time he has driven this kind of electric car, but he has ridden a human-powered tricycle in his hometown, since he is not used to it, then drive it steadily.
He had followed Ling Lin to the vegetable market once, so Wei Ran arrived at his destination very easily.
Shunfa Vegetable Market is the largest farmers' market in the vicinity, don't look at it is still early, there are many aunts and uncles in the market are picking fresh vegetables.
The last time she came to the vegetable market with Ling Lin, Wei Ran was also an eye-opener, but she didn't expect that when the seemingly gentle girl was bargaining with the stall owner, it was like transforming into a battle mode, without the slightest concession, and the stall owner who met her would always have no choice but to accept the price she proposed. Although the price proposed by Ling Lin was low, it was still within the acceptable range of the stall owner.
It can be seen from her willingness to give half of the net turnover to Wei Ran that Ling Lin is not picking on the door, on the contrary, this is a manifestation of diligence and thrift, and there are not many girls like her who have both appearance and interior.
"Boss, can this eggplant be cheaper?" Wei Ran pays more attention to the quality of the ingredients, of course, it would be better if the price could be lower, "If it can be cheaper, I can buy it from you for a long time, I open a restaurant." β
"Hotels? Which hotel? The middle-aged stall owner did not give a direct reply.
"Well, five-star hotel, I don't know if you've heard of it." Wei Ran said lightly.
"Five-star hotel? Where do you think you've heard of it? The stall owner was a little puzzled, and then said: "Okay, a pound will give you five cents cheaper, okay?" β
"Okay, then it's decided, give me 8 catties today." Wei Ran said with a smile.
After Wei Ran paid the money, put the eggplant packed in a plastic bag into the tricycle, and left, the stall owner asked the owner of the stall next to him: "Lao Li, do you know the five-star hotel?" It sounds strangely familiar, but I can't remember where I've heard it. β
"Lao Wang, you are really confused, isn't the five-star hotel the one mentioned in the evening news of Beijing TV last night!" Lao Li replied after looking for money for a customer.
"Oh, I remembered, I remembered, alas, this hotel is really capable! was able to make Beijing TV apologize publicly, the owner of this hotel doesn't look very old, he really has the ability! Lao Wang looked at Wei Ran's back on the tricycle and said in amazement.
"That young man just now is from a five-star hotel?" Lao Li was surprised: "It's really young and promising!" β
"Not really! It's a young man's world! β
"Haha"
Wei Ran, who was already far away, didn't know that someone was praising him behind his back.
Stepping on the brakes and stopping the tricycle steadily, Wei Ran took out the list and black pen from his pocket, crossed out the eggplant, and left three ingredients to buy.
It took a full hour and a half, Wei Ran finally returned with a full load, and when the tricycle passed an overpass, Wei Ran discovered a very interesting thing.
There are two young men, who actually use hundreds of fresh lychees to form a pattern of two hearts connected by an arrow, and there is the word "ILOVEYOU" with lychees under the pattern.
Is this a preparation for a confession? It's too heartfelt! Wei Ran looked at the time on his phone, it was still early, so he decided to see how things developed further, no matter how much he drowned, he had to wait for the heroine to play!
At this time, a passer-by uncle asked one of the young men curiously, "What do you want to do here?" β
"Let's let my friend explain, today he is the leading actor." The young man who was questioned pointed to his friend next to him.
This is a tall, thin and looking very handsome young man with glasses, he said a little shyly: "I plan to propose to the girl I like here, I want to surprise her." β
"I hope your proposal succeeds, young man." Uncle puffed for him.
"Thank you, uncle! I borrowed your good words. β
I'm going, proposing? This is the most creative way Wei Ran has ever seen, uh, the cheapest.
Although he admires the courage of this peer, Wei Ran is not optimistic that he can successfully propose, this proposal gives people a child's play, and it is strange that other girls can agree. If she really agreed, it means that she has already died for this young man, why do she need to get married?
About 10 minutes later, a girl with a black leather bag appeared in the northeast of the overpass, and when she was about to walk to the middle of the overpass, the thin guy suddenly appeared, which startled her and surprised: "Why are you here?" β
The thin guy led the girl to the shape of the lychee, suddenly turned to face the girl and knelt on one knee, holding a fiery red lychee in both hands and said affectionately to the girl: "My dear, although I don't have a house, a car, or too much money, I will use my sincerity to create happiness for you, marry me, okay?" β
The girl was stunned by the young man's sudden move, and as she looked at the more and more people gathered next to her, she blushed and said, "You hurry up." But the young man had no intention of getting up.
"Will you get up if I eat this lychee?" The girl said helplessly.
Hearing this, the young man hurriedly peeled the lychee and sent it to the girl's mouth, and after watching the girl finish eating, he stood up happily, "You agreed?" β
"You're too naΓ―ve, let's talk about it later!" With that, the girl turned away with a red face.
Failed Marriage Proposal! Looking at the back of the girl leaving, the young man's eyes were full of disappointment, but then he collected all the lychees on the ground and gave them to the onlookers-by.
Sure enough, the result was the same as he predicted, but seeing the young man's depressed appearance, Wei Ran's heart moved, and he wanted to help the young man.
"Hey, friend, what do you call you?" While the young man hadn't gone far, Wei Ran spoke.
"My surname is Dong, just call me Xiao Dong, what about you?" The young man turned around and forced a smile.
"My name is Wei Ran, and I have a very creative way to propose." Wei Ran exclaimed.
"Dude, don't say it, I'm already very sad, and you're still laughing at me?" Xiao Dong said helplessly.
"I didn't mean to laugh at you, I just wanted to ask, how long have you been in love?" Wei Ran hurriedly explained.
"Well, we are not in love, I have known her for three years, although I like her very much, I have not had the courage to confess, I heard that she has liked to eat lychees since she was a child, when I learned that she was going to shop here today, I prepared overnight, bought 2000 yuan of lychees, and after careful selection, I was ready to confess to her here, I didn't expect it" Xiao Dong said helplessly, at this time his friend also came over and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.
Big brother, are you going to skip the love stage and shoot your horse directly? No wonder the girl disagreed.
Wei Ran couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and then said lightly: "Maybe I can help you, re-introduction, I am the chef of the five-star hotel, Wei Ran." β
